A series of videos that show the design and construction of one, large, Elixir application. Essentially, the videos would show a step-by-step guide detailing how and why certain Elixir concepts were used (or not) in the development…

Responses to this tweet indicate some interest in some material specifically targetting JavaScript/HTML/CSS for the R user. Some knowledge of JavaScript in R is becoming requisite to fulfill the last mile (10%) with Shiny and htmlwidgets…

For those of us that build phoenix umbrella projects with phoenix 1.3, stitched to an elm-lang frontend, and deploys to single VM Host with a bunch of single-purposed docker containers (e.g. phoenix app container, elixir OTP with…

A course on the newly unveiled GlimmerJS. Glimmer is a React-like DOM-rendering engine in which components are written in TypeScript. Glimmer emerged from the Ember.js framework and will play a large role in Ember's future.

Motivation

Summary

Phoenix is great for building APIs for front-end frameworks such as Elm, Ember, React and more
A course dedicated to the design and execution of an API-only Phoenix application would be truly useful to the full-stack…

Accepted:

We'll be covering APIs in Phoenix as part of the Firestorm Forum project, thanks for the suggestion!

So many developers are giving up hot code reloading by using immutable Docker deploys for Elixir projects. That's not the Erlang way! Let's learn how to build an automatic deployment strategy using a library such as Gatling…

We'll be covering Elixir deployment as part of the Firestorm Forum project, thanks for the suggestion!

Docker is the world’s leading software container platform. Developers use Docker to eliminate “works on my machine” problems when collaborating on code with co-workers. Operators use Docker to run and manage apps side-by-side in isolated containers to…

We are working with Hosh, who is an expert on all things Docker and Kubernetes to do a two week series on this. The first will cover the basics of Docker, then the second orchestration with Kubernetes.

We all love Erlang and Elixir, but OTP is the true power behind it. The whole let it crash way of thinking, the supervision trees, naming strategies across nodes, replicating data, eventual consistency, enforcing business rules/invariants across…

We'll be doing this! I'm marking it accepted but we won't work on it for a month or two most likely - in general, it will come after Firestorm hits 1.0 (July 4th is the plan). There will be a little bit of OTP involved in Firestorm but probably not at the level you're looking for. Thanks for the suggestion, and thanks to everyone that upvoted it! :)
